As I get closer and closer to the island the house that I have always dreamed about awaits me. I can see it from a mile away. Everyone has that house that they ,have always dreamed about. It is so massive, that it is the most noticeable construction on the island. My own private plane lands on the landing strip located next to the house. As soon as I get off the plane, I then begin my voyage down the path that leads to my dream house. I am anxious to get to the house that I will spend the rest of my life in. Everything that surrounds me is simply amazing including all the trees and plants. It feels so good to be at a peaceful place and all you can hear are the birds chirping, smell the salt sea air. A nice tropical breeze on your skin, and warm white sand on my feet. As I draw nearer to the end of the road, my dream starts to appear. After all these years, I can now see my residence up close. Nothing could ever compare to the sight of my house. Nothing could have compared to the moment I was experiencing. What is better than looking at something you designed? My house is a five-story dream that lies on a twenty-acre lot. As I come near to the entrance of the house, four columns that lead to the most elegant doors in the world then surround me. The doors were made of mahogany with glass stained windows in the center of the each door. Each handle was made of brass along with brass frames. As I continue to walk around my house, I come across five windows that seem to overlook the house’s entrance. On each window, there are black shutters. The porch then continues to the backside of the house, as I am able to look over the ocean. When I look down at the ocean, I can see that there are two piers that protrude out in the ocean. The walls of the house are made of a good material to avoid damage from any weather. The outside of my house has an amazing view and I can only imagine what the rest looks like. On the inside of my house, I am able to stand...

...My Dream Home
My dream is to live in a big house surrounded by a big garden full of flowers and trees. My dreamhouse should be located outside the city, on the outskirts of town where I can find true peace and happiness. Therefore, my dreamhouse should have the characteristics that represent who I am with its location as well as its interior and exterior design. From my point of view, the location of my dreamhouse is very important and the surroundings and the design of my dreamhouse should be carefully considered. I've always been fascinated by the sounds of the outdoors. I'd feel very lively every morning if I was woken up by the sound of doves perching on the branches of the trees in my yard. In this respect, I imagine my dreamhouse near a flowing river, built in the countryside. It would be located in such a place that I could find fresh water and air. Also, I'd like my dreamhouse to be near to the center of a big city so that I will be able to go sopping when I needed to. As a matter of fact, peace and harmony combined with nature would be the basic feature of the location of my dreamhouse.
The exterior of my dream home would have a long concreted circled driveway. I would have a lot of flower beds around my...

“The Setting of the House on Mango Street”
The short story, “The House on Mango Street,” is a story that is centered within a particular neighborhood, which is evidently inhabited by middle-to-lower class folks. Although the introduction of the story does not state a specific location, it is safe to say that it is not the typical neighborhood where you would find rich white folks living. For example, the house where the protagonists live is described as almost collapsing due to brick damage; something that would not be an issue within a richer neighborhood. Evidently, the setting is one of the most important elements that constructs the first chapter. The House on Mango Street would serve a completely different purpose if it were not for its setting. By centering the story on the setting, Sandra Cisneros effectively emphasizes the underlying struggle of the novel.
The introductory paragraph of “The House on Mango Street” exemplifies how the novel is centralized on the setting. In this paragraph, the narrator explains how her family has been constantly moving from neighborhood to neighborhood. She explains that moving to their new home on Mango Street was nothing out of the ordinary. She does this by pointing out that every time they moved, there happened to be an additional member within the family. The manner in which the...

...Is My Dream Home
As I go to my estate in Malibu California were my dreamhouse is located. I get to see a quick peek of my home. It is really big and is one of the biggest homes in the area. My private helicopter landed on the helicopter pad on my dreamhouse. I get out of my helicopter quickly and start to walk through a path that leads to my home. I walk anxiously to see the home that I will be residing for the rest of my life. All around me are the most beautiful views that I have ever seen in my whole entire life. It was so peaceful that all you could hear are birds chirping and the maid watching her football game and waves crashing into the earth. As I continue to walk along the path set out for me I begin to see the entrance to my beautiful home.
My dreamhouse that I designed when I was twenty years old was more than I expected. My home is a four story’s and is twelve thousand two hundred fifty one square feet home on a beautiful thirty acre lot. As I approach the entrance to my home there are four huge columns that I imported from Europe, led to the most elegant doors that I had ever seen. They are made of a special wood also imported from Europe and had the special knockers that are in most movies. The frame and the handle and knocker of the door are made of silver. As I continue to look around the home I see three windows that overlook the entrance to my home,...

...﻿DreamHouse
Everyone has their own thoughts about their dreamhouse.
These days homes are more affordable because of the economy and all the foreclosures makes it much easier to afford a really nice house. My dreamhouse is not a fancyhouse that I could never afford; its a home I could see my wife and I having in the future. I have seen many homes that I thought to myself, this house would be perfect. A few characteristics I want to describe about my dreamhouse are the appearance, location, and decor.
I want my house to have a nice large home with coffee stained wood finish on the outside full of crystal clear windows of all different sizes. I imagine as you walk into my home there would be high ceilings and hanging over the entryway would be a big crystal chandelier. When entering the home, there would also be a place for you to hang your coat, rest, and take off your shoes from a long day’s work. I want a house that is not brand new but not too old either because I do not want to have fix the house constantly or hear the creaking floors while walking around. I always thought it would be nice to have solar panels, a windmill,...

...More Room
To hear the news of my mother’s new pregnancy was quite an excitement, yet I knew I would have to discuss with my mother why I believed it would be of essence to move to a much bigger house, this would mean that the new triplets would have a room of their own, and my brother Alex and I could have one as well. I informed my mother of the three important differences between our real house and our dream home would be the size, amenities, and location are more important factors with a larger family.
One important difference between our real home and our dream home would be size. Our current home is only 1,007 square feet. This is not going to be sufficient space for our increasing family. Like two lions fighting over whom will eat the buffalo, we would be fighting over living space, specially with eight people living in an overcrowded house that has only two bedrooms and one bathroom. If we moved to a house that was 6,589 square feet, 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, we would be more contented with all the additional space. No more fussing about who gets to use the bathroom next. Like animals, humans are also very territorial, and the less space we have to live in, the more hostile our environment becomes.
A more important difference between our real house and our dreamhouse would be amenities. Seeing as to how we are a family that loves to...

...psychology for measuring attitudes and traits, monitoring changes in mood, checking the validity of experimental manipulations, and for a wide variety of other psychological topics.
An interesting area of psych is psych of dreams. Why we dream is still one of the behavioral sciences' greatest unanswered questions. Dreams are the touchstones of our character. - Henry David Thoreau Researchers have offered many theories—memory consolidation, emotional regulation, threat simulation—but a unified one is yet to be proposed. A dream can include any of the images, thoughts and emotions that are experienced during sleep. Dreams can be extraordinarily vivid or very vague; filled with joyful emotions or frightening scenes; focused and understandable or unclear and confusing. According to dream psychology, the elements of dreams are closely related to the environment and experiences one is exposed to. Presence of colors in the dreams is the result of long years of exposure to colored media. This is evident from a study which shows that people of the black and white era used to have black and white dreams more often than colored ones. Psychologists believe that colors appearing in dreams carry emotions represented by those colors.
• Some researchers suggest that dreams serve no real purpose, while others believe that dreaming is...

...before ever hitting the ground? Well, this is considered to be a “Falling Dream”. Ironically, falling dreams usually occur when you are drifting off to sleep. However, they interpret a different meaning. “Falling” can mean that you feel you are losing your grip, or you are self-conscious, or simply have fears that need to be faced. Patricia Garfield, the author of the book Creative Dreaming, states, “There’s some problem that is making you feel helpless – like you have no support.” So next time you wake up startled from a “falling dream”, ask yourself, “What upcoming events do I fear I will fail?” In my speech today, I am going to explain the fascination behind dreams. I plan to explain the reasoning as to why we dream, then talk about the interpretations of dreams and nightmares.
TRANSITION: First, let’s take a look at the scientific view behind dreams.
The National Sleep Foundation reported that eighty percent of teenagers get too little sleep. Teens normally require about nine to nine and a half hours of sleep, but they average to only seven hours a night. During sleep is typically said to be a person’s best thinking hours. Why is this? Believe it or not, dreams are a sign that your brain is working even when you are asleep. During Rapid Eye Movement, or REM, is when we dream most vividly. According to some researchers,...

...Dreams
In the Greek and Roman eras, dreams were seen in a religious context. They were believed to be direct messages from the gods or from the dead. The people of that time look to their dreams for solutions on what to do or what course of action to take. They believed dreams forewarned and predicted the future. Greek philosopher, Aristotle, believed that dreams were a result of physiological functions.Dreams were able to diagnose illness and predict onset of disease.
During the Middle Ages, dreams were seen as evil and its images were temptations from the devil. In the vulnerable sleep state, the devil was believed to fill the mind of humans with poisonous thoughts. He did his dirty work though dreams attempting to mislead us down a wrong path.
One sleep cycle consists of four stages and lasts for about 90-120 minutes. Dreams can occur in any of the four stages of sleep, but the most vivid and memorable dreams occur in the last stage of sleep. The sleep cycle repeats itself about an average of four to five times per night, but may repeat as many as seven times. So, you can see how a person has many different dreams in one night. Most people only remember dreams that occur closer toward the morning when they are about to wake up. Some people believe that they simply do not dream, when...
